A dense new cluster of roughly 300 luxury townhomes is being teed up for Talley Road, potentially reshaping a fast-growing slice of the Alamo Ranch corridor. The plan, covering about 14 acres just off Highway 211, is still in the design phase, and the developer is targeting an early-2027 groundbreaking. If it wins approvals, the project would add a higher-density, for-sale option in an area long dominated by single-family subdivisions and strip retail, according to MySA.
What Agave Is Proposing
Agave Land & Development is pitching the 300-unit townhome community on Talley Road near Highway 211, as reported by MySA. The buildout would sit on about 14 acres and is "in the design phase," and founder James Nichols told the outlet the team is eyeing an early-2027 groundbreaking. Nichols also told reporters the site falls inside the Medina Valley school district and lies outside San Antonio city limits.
Why Developers Are Piling Into Talley Road
Talley Road and the wider Far West Side have become magnets for new residents and retail, and builders have noticed. The San Antonio Express‑News reported that ZIP code 78253, which covers much of the area around Alamo Ranch, ranked among the nation's top ZIP codes for inbound moves in 2025. That surge, paired with new retail and improved road connections, helps explain why developers are now floating denser housing types in what was once almost exclusively single-family territory.
Agave's Track Record
Agave Land & Development, led by James Nichols, says it has been active in the region since 2016 and continues to operate the Lost Woods campground near Helotes, according to Agave's website. The firm also partnered on a 146-unit condominium project off Braun Road outside Helotes, a project covered by The Real Deal. Taken together, those projects show Agave leaning into ownership-style multifamily and mixed-use work rather than focusing only on traditional single-family tracts.
Local Impact and Timeline
Commercial activity on Talley Road is already ramping up. A $3.6 million shopping center is planned at Talley and Wiseman that local coverage says will serve Alamo Ranch and nearby neighborhoods, per MySA. Multiple property listings show buildable parcels along Talley Road being marketed for commercial and residential uses and list Medina Valley I.S.D. as the local school district; see Compass for one example. If the townhome plan clears engineering and permitting, a 2027 groundbreaking would make it one of the larger for-sale multifamily projects on the Far West Side.
For now, the proposal is still at the drawing-board stage, but it hints at a shift in the Alamo Ranch corridor toward a mix of retail and denser homeownership products. County planners, school officials and neighbors will see site plans and traffic studies during the public-review process, and those filings will determine whether the developer's early-2027 timetable holds. We will follow public filings and permit activity and report further updates as they appear.
